Time 20m

Yield One 6-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 7

7 ounces chocolate wafer cookies (about 30 cookies)
1/3 cup, plus 3 tablespoons sugar, divided
6 to 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup heavy cream
3 ounces raspberries (3/4 cup), plus more serving

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Place cookies in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add 3 tablespoons sugar and 6 tablespoons butter and mix until evenly moistened. If needed, add remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Press into bottom and 3/4 of the way up the sides of a 6-inch springform pan. Freeze while you prepare the filling.
  • Make the filling: Using a hand mixer, beat cream cheese, lemon juice, and remaining 1/3 cup sugar on medium speed until well combined, about 2 minutes. In another bowl, whip cream to soft peaks; gently fold into cream cheese mixture (do not overmix.) Pour filling over frozen crust, spreading evenly to edges. Cover with plastic wrap; freeze until set, at least 30 minutes. Transfer to refrigerator and chill until firm, at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day.
  • To serve, press half of the raspberries through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl to create a puree. Slice cake and serve drizzled with puree and topped with remaining berries.
